  1. Do I have to choose another profession if I fail clinicals

    CuriousMe replied to lori305's topic in General Students

    All the programs I applied for asked on the application if I had ever been in a nursing program anywhere before, if yes, was I eligible for reinstatement. I don't know that I would start out a...

  2. Do you snitch on cheaters?

    CuriousMe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    The phrasing of your question makes it pretty clear how you feel about it. I do uphold my school's honor code, which states that if I know that someone's cheating, I can be held as responsible as...

  3. Question on doing pre-reqs for nursing in OSU

    CuriousMe replied to cheeza4u's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't think it works that way. SOU doesn't have a say in OHSU's program, Admissions is different, the Registrar is different....anyone who would be looking at "retention" works for a different...

  4. End of the Semester Burnout

    CuriousMe replied to ggabri07's topic in General Students

    Does anyone have any ideas of things you can do through the term to minimize burnout in the end? It really hit me hard this

  5. Best Organizational Tip For Surviving Nursing School

    CuriousMe replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I am also a naturally disorganized person. I was that kid whose grade school report cards repeatedly said "She would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her neck." So I know what you mean. As...

  6. Cheating

    CuriousMe replied to nurz2be's topic in General Students

    I would take a look at your school's honor code. Most say something to the effect of, if you know that someone cheated and don't report it...you are equally guilty of cheating. Add to this the fact...

  7. Nursing STUDENT doesn't mean NURSE!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to chnc1024's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I'm so sorry the little guy is so sick, that has got to be a tough situation for everyone involved. While it's true that you can't advise her at all, you may be able to understand what her...

  8. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    The neurological complication was Guillain-Barré, they don't give that vaccine anymore due to those

  9. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    Could you let us know where you got the information that there is still thimerisol in all vaccines in spite of what the label says? Can you give us studies that show correlations between any of these...

  10. autonomic nervous system

    CuriousMe replied to sm357's topic in General Students

    As you said, this is an entire system...and it can be confusing. This isn't really a good place to get such a big answer. Have you tried pulling your A&P book out again and reading that section...

  11. Need Advice

    CuriousMe replied to wlb06's topic in General Students

    The 30 minutes back and forth each day is far less time than working...even part-time. The loss of some independence will only be for a few years and while it will probably be less convenient to see...

  12. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    According to the 2008 - 2009 VIS for the flu shot, anyone who has had Guillain-Barré should speak with their Practitioner before having the flu shot. Here's the link to the VIS:...

  13. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    I've heard that if you have had Guillain-Barré there's a small chance that the flu shot might cause it to reoccur. So, you should chat with your Doc before having the shot. But I hadn't heard...

  14. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    Anecdotal evidence is so attractive. So shiny and glittery, so easy to to put our faith in... I know of folks that swear they got the flu from the flu shot as well. I have no doubt that they...

  15. a sign of intellegence

    CuriousMe replied to Trixiebell's topic in General Students

    Well I guess I'm just not that intelligent :) I do everything I can to get a jump-start on my reading for the term. I've done this all through my pre-reqs and will do it over winter term before my...

  16. To Flu Shot or Not??

    CuriousMe replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Students

    Vaccines can be touchy subjects. I personally believe that there is enough evidence to support that they protect far more than harm. The flu shot has minimal side effects...the arm where you get it...

  17. Pharmacology cards

    CuriousMe replied to midcom's topic in General Students

    Additionally, I think I learn as much making the cards as I do studying from them. Peace,

  18. subjectve and objective data

    CuriousMe replied to addis's topic in General Students

    If VS stands for vital signs....that's an example of

  19. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    CuriousMe replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    I also have some learning disabilities related to math. I think getting evaluated is a great idea. I do want to stress though that having an LD doesn't mean you can't learn math...it just means you...

  20. How would you fix this???

    CuriousMe replied to tlc2u's topic in General Students

    as far as the hours for lab, clinical and classroom....the quantity is often defined by your state bon. i would check out their page. best of luck! peace,

  21. Why so many fail out of our program?

    CuriousMe replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    Wow, reading this thread has made me so thankful for my nursing school. While of course NS is no walk in the park, our Prof's are wonderfully encouraging and helpful! The attrition in the past two...

  22. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    CuriousMe replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    I agree Stat's was much more of lecture class than a math class. Peace,

  23. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    CuriousMe replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    I will start this out by saying I am NO math genius. I have learning disabilities when it comes to math and in High School was pulled out of all my math and science classes and told to avoid them in...

  24. How does one "think like a nurse"?

    CuriousMe replied to olympia's topic in General Students

    Isn't that what we're supposed to learn in nursing school...how to think like a nurse? I guess I figure that you learned to think like a quality analyst for your former career....now you just need to...

  25. Will I be competitive enough for NP?

    CuriousMe replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm just sophomore in a BSN program, so have about 6 years before I intend to apply to a graduate program....but I'm curious what you would consider work experience that pertains directly to an FNP...
